There are a few of us who play NCAA leagues, despite that OOTP is not set-up well for that. I have generated my own digital world that works in step with OOTP, and I share it now in hopes that our OOTP developers might look to add it in some future version. If I can program it, OOTP developers can program it in no time at all. The word doc in my ballpark directory describes my digital NCAA world.

In My Digital world, I have written software to:

* Manage AI and human(me) coach reputations

* Assess which NCAA team each recruit is interested in, and which recruits each NCAA team is interested in

* Execute a recruiting cycle where NCAA Teams sign recruits where higher reputation teams tend to get the better players, which I then insert back in OOTP as draft results

* Generate complete, realistic NCAA schedules every year

* Calculate RPI, track Conference standings and generate a Top 32 ranking throughout each week of each season.

* Manage Conference Tournament week (because OOTP can’t handle the variety of conference tournament approaches I use).

* Select the NCAA playoff field and manage the regional and Omaha playoff brackets (with 142 total teams, I go with a 32 team field comprised of 8-four team regional double elimination tournaments. The 8 winners go to Omaha)

* Calculate reputation changes for each team upon the conclusion of each season

* Calculate AI and human (me) coach reputation changes upon the conclusion of each season

* Manage the coach ‘silly season’ where teams fire underperforming coaches and hire good coaches away from lower reputation teams
